Southern California ABS Branches Begonia Show at Sherman Gardens

Here are some pictures that I took at the Southern California ABS Branches Begonia Show and Sale at Sherman Gardens.  Everyone wore masks and maintained safe distancing.  It wasn't a judged show, so no blue ribbons or best in show, but there were some really great begonias on display.
